Thought a lot of the elements to RAW were great, but it had terrible pacing and things were in the most random order.
I get the focus on Punk/Triple H. I get having Orton on the show to build Smackdown and that title match. I get what they did with Cena/ADR. But how they placed everything was fucking retarded. It seems like Triple H doesn't want to take the end of the show, which is probably why the title matches have been getting it every week even though he and Punk are all over everything else And besides, they closed out the frigging show last week anyway awkwardly while Cena and Sheamus celebrated. It makes no sense. ADR doesn't show up until 10PM, Cena doesn't show up til 10:30. That doesn't help ratings. And impromptu main events make even less sense when you build them at 10:50. Have Punk / Triple H / Nash open the show, have everything ADR and Cena did backstage throughout the first hour, and the 8 man elimination match at 10PM. Punk vs. Truth in the main event, announcement of the NOC stips, end the show.
Instead it came off as a bit of a clusterfuck.
And it's unfortunate, because otherwise the show was great. Good matches, good promos, good build.
